Freezer Meals!

Freezer Meals will save you time, money & make your dinnertime prep simple & stress free! In this post, I will be sharing my Freezer Meals Pinterest Board with you & giving you helpful tips that have made the prep-process easier!

Here is the link to my board with tons of healthy family friendly freezer meals:

Tips:

To make the meals more budget friendly, try to find recipes that require ingredients you can use in multiple meals

Frozen vegetables tend to work better for freezer meals

Try to avoid using “creamy” ingredients. If the recipe does require it, you can always add them in the day of

Choose a day or night where you are NOT BUSY & prep the meals all at once….you’ll be surprised how fast the process is!

Put on some music! For me, it makes the process more fun!

Make ingredient lists to make the prep process easier to follow & check them off as you go

Print out a Freezer Meals booklet to save all your favorite recipes

Label the freezer bags. Include the name of the meal, date, instructions & any day-of add ins

Most freezer meals will leave you with leftovers if you have a family of four or less so that’s another plus!

If the pre-chopped onions are on sale, I always buy them….it saves so much time!

I buy the minced garlic in the jar which also saves a lot of time

Thaw next day meals overnight in the refrigerator

I normally cook my freezer meals in the crockpot on LOW. This keeps the meat from drying out

No matter the quality, I always double bag any freezer meals with sauces to avoid leaks

I also recommend gallon sized freezer bags with a sliding zip-lock

Shop around for sales on meat and stock up!

Stack & lay meals FLAT in freezer

I will be making tons of Freezer Meals this summer to avoid turning on the oven & to enjoy being outside with my kids knowing dinner will be ready to go! Let me know your favorite Freezer Meals in the comments! Happy Monday!
